In a crucial enhancement of its aerial combat capabilities, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has updated the Electronic Warfare (EW) suite threat library of its fighter jets with the signatures of the Chinese PL-15 Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air Missile (BVRAAM). This advancement, achieved through meticulous analysis of recovered PL-15 missiles and Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) operations, significantly bolsters the IAF’s ability to detect and neutralize emerging aerial threats. Given the evolving security landscape along India’s northern and eastern borders, where the PL-15 is operational with the People’s Liberation Army Air Force, this development underscores the IAF’s commitment to maintaining operational superiority and resilience against advanced missile systems. Overall, this proactive measure reflects India’s strategic focus on enhancing defense capabilities amidst regional challenges.
